The Lady Byng....in Song

Another award was announced to end out the week and it couldn't have been a WORSE award to announce heading into a weekend, the Lady Byng for most gentlemanly player in the league. This is what we have to linger over for the weekend.

I'm sure it was a distinguished award when it was introduced, but as time and time went on, it got less and less relevant. Sean Leahy tweeted me the best thing, who want to be known as the most gentlemanly now?? It's basically who has the most playing time with the least amount of penalty minutes.

So, instead of breaking it down, instead of boring you-- I'm going to hit the MP3 Player and give you a 15-song playlist that comes on, because that could be more entertaining than dissecting the Lady Byng.

1. "Art is Hard" by Cursive2. "Pieces of You" by Kerri and Caleb3. "The Other Side of the Crash/Over and Out of Control" by Thursday4. "The Roads You Can Take" by 19975. "Giant" by Matthew Good Band6. "Dottie in a Car Crash" by The Legion of Doom7. "Hop a Plane" by Tegan and Sara8. "She Found You" by Samiam9. "Cute Without The "E" (Cut From The Team)" by Taking Back Sunday10. "Montauk" by Bayside11. "Lolita" by Mustard Plug12. "It's a Wonderful Life" by Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution13. "9th At Pine" by Less Than Jake14. "We Are The Few" by Streetlight Manifesto15. "Act One, Scene One" by The Fall of Troy

Oh, and I think that it'll be the fourth straight award for Pavel Datsyuk based on his point output and 22 PIMs. Though Martin St. Louis' 14 PIMs may make a run, but who cares-- really??
